Twin Avenger Bolt Cannon, probably 2 x AP2+/AT4+ in Epic plus left and right arc quad heavy bolters

If it's an actual fighter, great. If not, Christ, another goddamn skimmer.

I don't think it's a fighter. It looks to be a Storm Eagle variant, loosing the 20 transport capacity in favour of lots of guns, I reckon it's more of a ground attack craft.

Fighters in 40k all have a 'supersonic' rule meaning they can move a lot further than regular flyers. The Caestus Assault Ram has supersonic, but Thunderhawks and Storm Eagles don't. IMO this would probably make this a Bomber in Epic, perhaps a Fighter-Bomber. Really all the newer SM aircraft deserve to be actual aircraft, making them skimmers isn't really appropriate.

We've already got a SM fighter anyway - the Storm Talon. It's not very aerodynamic, but with far future tech this is clearly irrelevant for marines.

The Space Marine version of the Valkyrie.
